4.If applicable, turn off water supply to humidifier.

5.If furnace blower will be necessary for cooling sys- tem, remember to turn electric power back on when needed for air conditioning.

6.If furnace is being shut down because of a malfunc- tion, call your dealer as soon as possible.

ALWAYS KEEP MAIN OIL VALVE TURNED OFF IF BURNER IS SHUT DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

PERFORMING ROUTINE

MAINTENANCE

With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate economically and dependably. Instructions for basic maintenance follow. However, before beginning maintenance, follow these safety precautions:

11

!WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to take this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Turn off all electrical power to furnace before performing any maintenance or service on unit.

!CAUTION

CUT HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in per- sonal injury.

Although special care has been taken to mini- mize sharp edges, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the furnace.

FILTERING OUT TROUBLE

Dirty air filters will cause a loss of airflow in your duct system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the fur- nace may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unattended, the furnace will eventually lock out. It is recommended that furnace air filters be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned or replaced as necessary.

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in re- duced unit component life.

Never operate your furnace without the air fil- ters in place. Doing so may damage the fur- nace blower motor. An accumulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your furnace can cause a loss of efficiency.

The air filter is installed in an external filter rack which is provided as standard equipment with furnace. To inspect, clean, and/or replace air filter, follow these steps:

1.Turn off electrical supply to furnace. (See Fig. 11.)

2.Remove filter from external filter rack.

3.Inspect filter. If torn, replace it.

58VMR specifications

The Carrier 58VMR is a top-tier gas furnace that exemplifies high efficiency and innovative technology. Designed for residential applications, it delivers exceptional heating performance while optimizing energy usage. With an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of up to 97%, the 58VMR stands as one of the most efficient options available in the market today.

One of the defining features of the Carrier 58VMR is its variable-speed blower motor. This technology allows the furnace to operate at different speeds, adjusting airflow based on the heating demand. Consequently, this leads to enhanced comfort levels in the home, as the system can more precisely maintain temperature without the hot and cold fluctuations commonly associated with single-stage systems.

Another notable characteristic of the 58VMR is its two-stage heating capability. This means the furnace can run at a lower stage during milder weather conditions, which not only saves energy but also reduces noise levels, making it operate quietly. On colder days, the furnace automatically switches to the higher stage, ensuring that the home remains warm and comfortable.

The Carrier 58VMR also features advanced diagnostics, which simplifies maintenance and service. Its integrated control board can detect issues quickly and provide error codes to technicians, allowing for faster and more efficient repairs. This proactive approach to maintenance enhances the reliability and longevity of the system.

In addition to its mechanical features, the Carrier 58VMR is designed with a fully insulated cabinet that minimizes heat loss and ensures quiet operation. This level of insulation contributes to the overall efficiency of the system, allowing it to retain more heat and reduce energy consumption.

For homeowners concerned about environmental impact, the 58VMR is compatible with Carrier's EcoBlue technology, which further improves efficiency through advanced combustion processes. This technology ensures that the furnace operates with lower emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.

In conclusion, the Carrier 58VMR gas furnace combines high efficiency, advanced technology, and comfort-enhancing features. With its variable-speed blower, two-stage heating, and ease of maintenance, the 58VMR is well-suited to meet the demands of modern homes. Its commitment to efficiency and environmental responsibility makes it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to improve their heating system.
